Know your Cloth Nappies


My name is Helen and I’m a cloth nappy connoisseur which is a nicer way of saying I’m addicted to cloth nappies. The first thing you should know about cloth nappies is they are as easy to use as any disposable but have less impact on both your wallet AND the environment. Remember your child is going to live on this planet after you have gone and what we do right now will affect their way of living so lowering the amount of disposable nappies being placed in landfills for hundreds of years is a bonus for the future of many families, including your own great great grandchildren! 

Another thing, and I won’t hide this one, is becoming a cloth nappy user can be a bit of an addiction. So many beautiful colours, designs and brands you just cannot help yourself at times. But don’t worry I’m here to give you the top five nappies you can find at The Baby Show NEC that are super cute, easy to use, light on your wallet and even worth you giving night time cloth a go too!

gNappies – Stand M18

gNappies are a sized nappy which comes with an outer case and then a waterproof breathable pouch. The pouch holds the insert and the bonus of gNappies is you have the option to use cotton inserts to reusable over and over again OR disposable ones. You may think that’s odd to go cloth and use disposable inserts but gNappies disposable inserts decompose faster than a banana skin! You will have to buy different sizes as your child grows but the bonus is they will fit perfectly and if you’ve not had a leak then you can just place a clean pouch and insert in to the outer part of the nappy and use it again!
Fuzzibunz Perfect Size – Stand M30

The Fuzzibunz Perfect Size nappy is simple to use and will give a nice slim fit. If you are looking for quick drying and easy to use then this could be the nappy for you and your little one. You can choose from an assortment of colours that suit girls, boys and even unisex for those who are having a surprise.
Close Parent Pop-in – Stand K26

A one-size nappy which means usually it will fit from birth to potty age. The Pop-in comes in a choice of minkee or bamboo inserts with the minkee being quick drying and bamboo being great for big wetters. Close Parent also do a night time booster which you can add to your Pop-in nappy to make it a night nappy and have the option of all sorts of lovely colours and 4 different prints.



Tots Bots Bamboozle Stretchies – Stand M10

A two part nappy which means this requires a wrap, something Tots Bots also sell. Bamboozle Stretchies come in different sizes and colours but all of them are made with bamboo and this is why I have picked this nappy on this list and recommend it as a night time nappy. You can also buy bamboo boosters but chances are you’ll find the nappy and the insert it comes with to survive a night with no problems.
Bum Genius Freetime – Stand K20

I have chosen this nappy for this list because it’s a great example of how easy cloth nappies are. No need to worry about the inserts as they are sewn in to the nappy and you can change the size or turn them over to have extra absorbency in the middle, back or front. This is a one-size nappy so will last a good long time and not only comes in so many colours and designs but also have the option of aplix (which is like Velcro) or poppers depending what you prefer.
